I think that shows the Bruce impact on the squad. Warnock is a dinosaur and a better ref would have stopped them by using his cards sooner but I got the impression that he just couldn't be arsed blowing up for half the fouls as it created work for him. You get a measure of their manager when your read that he waited for Grealish in the tunnel to confront him as though it was his own fault that they kept fouling him. This was about 5 minutes after everyone else had gone off as he had come over to the Holte, along with Gollini, to give his shirt to somebody in the crowd. He probably then laid into his own players for not kicking him hard enough. Wanker.Gabby and Gestede for all their limitations did make a difference when they came on which again reflects well on Bruce because they didn't seem obvious changes to me.As for Oasis at the end, if the club had asked fans for ideas of what song to play it would have been number 7,296 on the list. As it is, it happened spontaneously and now just seems to work, probably because, unlike the Twang song suggested above, everyone knows the words so can join in if they want. Not looking back in anger seems to me an appropriate approach for a club trying to shake of the effect of 5 years of neglect.This. About the Oasis song. Who wrote it, what team they support, what city they're from and whether they're shit or not is all irrelevant. The words 'don't look back in anger' are very apposite given the pitiful state L****r got us into. It was spontaneous. And it is very in-keeping with the understated irony and wit of Villa fans (remember Always Look On The Bright Side of Life?). We're moving forward now, and we're putting all that rubbish behind us without any bitterness. If anyone can find a song by a Villa supporting Brummie band with a chorus that goes 'don't look back in anger', maybe we can try that one after the next win. Until then...Missed my 'The Twang' post Jimbo? Villa supporting Brummie band with a chorus that goes "I feel so much better today, I chase the bad things away". The whole song fits much better than Oasis, although isn't as well known. It's chock full of Brummie accents, and the chorus makes an easily repeated terrace chant:

Last week we outplayed a team with a reputation for a good footballing side, this week we stood up to a cynical, over physical side and won the game. I think that shows the Bruce impact on the squad.

When we beat Wigan and Burton, I wonder how far back we'll have to go to find 5 in a row!
Regards adoption of don't look back in anger is there a possibility people can come up with villa inspired theme to it rather than singing about 'Sally ' and have some football related with aston villa instead . Now this wouldbe superb if lyrical genius amongst us wrote with villa feeling in mind a simple version to create an anthem with the same chorus of course but a shorter version of oasis classic

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/grealish-good-adomah-excellent-kodjia-12237565 QuoteGrealish good, Adomah excellent, Kodjia even better... Aston Villa's forwards show what Cardiff City must do come January Ross McCormack, remarkably, was injured for the hosts and yet the absence of arguably the best striker in this league over the last few seasons barely even registered.It is in a forward line with remarkable variety and quality, able to withstand injuries and African Cup of Nations call-ups. It cost a fortune, but is starting to deliver points with regularity.It’s the reason why Aston Villa, bolstered by the cold hard cash thrown at the squad in the summer, are confident that Steve Bruce’s instant impact can continue long into the winter. For Cardiff, more patience is required.11th in the table, fifth favourites to go up.

Great win.Please stop playing Oasis.
Quote from: The Edge on November 27, 2016, 10:01:03 AMOn the song debate someone in the queue for the train at Brighton last week started singing "the day we caught the train" by OCS. It was superb and it got me thinking that this would sound great with the Villa fans belting out the chorus. Lead singer Simon Fowler is a big Villa fan so for me this would be a much better choice than any Oasis song who are such big Man City fans.NO, NO, NO!A new low for this great club, how far have we sunk etc.Just for clarity, I fucking hate that song and band. It reminds me of everything I hated about the nineties, Chris Evans,'lad' culture, meat and two veg 'Britpop' and mostly Ocean Duller Scene. Oh and reminds me of this monstrosity, only even worse.It's a no from me...
